It is a further object of the invention to provide a device of thischaracter which may be adjusted to heads of different sizes.

It is a still further object of the invention to construct a device ofthis character in such a manner that it may be fastened to the hair.

With the above and other objects in view, reference is had to theaccompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a view in side elevation ofa figure showing one manner of use of a headdress constructed inaccordance with the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a similar view showing another manner of use of the headdressconstructed in accordance with the present invention;

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the headdress;

Fig. 4 is a detail view showing the adjustability of the elementsforming the headdress;-

Referring more particularly to the draw ings, the device comprises twohead-encircl ng bands 5 and 6. The head-encircling band 5 is adapted tooccupy a substantially horizontal plane and extend around the rear ofthe head. The member 6 is adapted to pass over the front portion of thehead, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Each of these members 5 and 6 isprovided with a plurality of ornamentations, such as 7. The member 5 isprovided near each of its ends with a tongue 8, and these tongues arepivotally connected to the member 5. as at 9. Adjatongue is adapted toengage to maintain it in closed position.

Slidably mounted upon the member a there are two clasps or the like, 12,said clasps being provided with openings 13, through which the member 5slides, and within the confines of which the member 5 has frictionalengagement in order that the clasps 12 will remain in the position towhich they are adjusted on the member 5. Each of these clasps 12 has anupwardly projecting lug 14, and the member 6 is connected to theseupwardly projecting lugs 14, by means of screws or the like, 15. Each ofthe clasps 12 is provided on its outer face with a suitableornamentation 16, which serves to hide the clasp and its constructionfrom View when the device is in use upon the head of the wearer.

When the device is used as shown in Fig. 1, it is placed over the headwith the two members 5 and 6 enclosing the hair, and S6IV1I1g to holdthe same in place. In order to prevent shifting of the members 5 and 6,a portion ofthe hair is engaged betion of the hair is also engagedbehind the tongues 8, to secure the device against accidentaldisplacement.

In that form of the invention shown in Fig. 5, the band 5 is provided inthe space between the pivotal point 9 of. the tongue 8 and the hook 10,with a plurality of spaced openings 20.
